hilux

Hey guys, I’m new to this whole 4wd modifications, I want some advice on a 2” lift kit. I have a 2018 rugged x (rear leaf). I’ve had mixed opinions on tough dog and old man emu but want to hear people’s opinion. I don’t carry any rear load as of yet, front set up is the stock bull bar that comes...

G'day Fellas, I currently own a 95 ln106. 3L 2.8d engine in it. I'm looking at putting a turbo in. My mate has a HT18 turbo that he no longer needs due to upgrading to a cruiser. I am just wondering whether this will suit my lux rather than buying a brand new one. In the case it does not suit, I...

Hello everyone, Im really looking at getting a 4x4 for work and play and I really want a td42 ute but my friend has told me to steer clear of them because if something goes wrong it's tends to be expensive and had suggest to look at 1kd hilux's because they are cheap to repair. Should I listen...

Hey everyone, Thought id do a post on my first 4x4. Just bought this 2 months ago. I knew it had a lot of hidden rust, ended up being way more then originally thought. The engine has been looked after and it seemed like bit of a rare find. Thats what made me pull the trigger. Auto locking hubs...

Hey I’m looking into converting my 2010 sr5 v6 Hilux to a ls2 or ls3. Just wanting to know if my running gear can handle that sort of power and is there anything major that should be upgraded. Cheers

Gday everyone, Currently doing a restoration on an old 1989 lux. Almost done and am sussing out tyres for her now. Just wanted to know how 265/75R16's would fit on her if anyone has experience or knows? Same as a LN106. Cheers

Hi all, Since I get my P's later on this year, it's coming up to buying my own set of wheels. I've got roughly $6k all up and was wondering what everyones thoughts were. I probably can't have something little. (Sierra or Jimny) considering I'm only 16 and stand at 185cm and weigh in at 113kg...

Hi all, I'm looking at getting my first 4x4 and I think a dual cab ute will work for what I'm looking to do and now I'm trying to figure out which specific ute to go for. I have a budget of $15k and I've been looking at a Hilux SR/SR5, Ranger XL/XLT or Navara ST/ST-R so far. Any tips/advice...

Howdy, I've gotten my hands on a 2nd hand ARB Sprint Canopy for my N70 Hilux (I know: personal taste, etc, etc, etc). ARB want to charge $300 to install it. I'm wondering if anyone: - Has ever done their own Sprint Canopy install? - Knows how to do it? - Wants to do another one? OR - Knows a...

A quick DIY service on my 2012 Hilux SR (3.0 diesel D4D engine.) With my service overdue by over a thousand kms I took my 4x4 over to my brother Matt to teach me how to do an oil change and replace the oil and fuel filters pre road trip Do you do your own oil and filter changes? It's definitely...

Hello, new here. I just am after some information regarding my LN130 1992 Surf. The front drivers side window is not winding down. After doing some hunting around I have seen it generally is an issue with the window regulator. I found a replacement set here...

Hi guys and girls, I was thinking of planning a day trip from Sydney in the Yalwal area to complete the Mintbush and Wombat Flat Road tracks before having lunch at Danjera Dam. Would these tracks be possible in a relatively stock 2016 Hilux with AT's and a brand new Jimny with AT's also? I've...

Finally a collaboration video! I caught up with old mate Cam from Wild Touring and headed out the back of Pinjarra for a day of 4 wheeling. Cam drives a modified D-MAX that puts my stock Hilux to shame! This guy was on a mission to tackle a technical hill climb that had defeated him on his last...

This 4WD trip was not easy... Sometimes the simplest things can be tough! A combination of issues made this day trip a three day expedition. I knew i could easily give up at any point but some things need finishing and this track was one of those "things." The crazy thing is, I've driven...

G'day all, I've been looking around for cars for a while, and found a decent one. This one is a 1993 Hilux with the 2.8 non-turbo diesel (yes, I know they're slow and I won't turbo it) and 5-speed manual. It's got 318,000K's and i know these things are bulletproof so the K's don't matter too...

Hi all, Found a 2000 dual cab hilux I'm looking to buy. It's got a TJM bullbar, 9000 pound Warn Winch, lightbar, 31 inch muddies, long range fuel tank, UHF, side steps and snorkel. It's got the 3 litre (5L) engine and I know it's no powerhouse but it's perfect for me. All looks good it's just...
